Vibratory outlet hopper for bulk solids discharge

In industrial operations, ensuring smooth discharge of bulk solids from silos can be challenging. Issues like material bridging, rat holing, and inconsistent flow are common, leading to operational inefficiencies and downtime. Effective material flow aid solutions are needed to address these issues.

Facilitate material flow with minimal interruptions

The BA Bin Activator by EXTRAC is a vibratory outlet hopper designed to ensure smooth discharge of bulk solids from silos. Featuring a seamless carbon or stainless steel cone and a double-flanged, seamless gasket, it employs electric OLI motovibrators to generate vibrations, promoting consistent material flow. The activator’s gyratory motion prevents common flow issues such as bridging and rat holing. Suitable for various industries including food processing, chemical, and heavy industries, the BA Bin Activator supports a range of materials from powdery to granular forms. With robust construction, FDA-approved gaskets for food applications, and low power requirements, it is designed for durability and efficiency. The unit can handle volumes from 5 to 320 m3/h, with diameters ranging from 400mm to 3,000mm.
